AISN #21: Google DeepMind’s GPT-4 Competitor, Military Investments in Autonomous Drones, The UK AI Safety Summit, and Case Studies in AI Policy.

<p>Welcome to the AI Safety Newsletter by the Center for AI Safety. We discuss developments in AI and AI safety. No technical background required.</p><p><strong>Google DeepMind’s GPT-4 Competitor</strong></p><p>Computational power is a key driver of AI progress, and a new report suggests that Google’s upcoming GPT-4 competitor will be trained on unprecedented amounts of compute. </p><p>The model, currently named Gemini, may be trained by the end of this year with 5x more computational power than GPT-4. By the end of next year, the report projects that Google will have the ability to train a model with 20x more compute than GPT-4. </p><p>For reference, the compute difference between GPT-3 and GPT-4 was 100x. If these projections are true, Google’s new models could create a meaningful spike relative to current AI capabilities. </p><p>Google’s position [...]</p> <p>---</p><p><strong>Outline:</strong></p><p>(00:14) Google DeepMind’s GPT-4 Competitor</p><p>(02:41) US Military Invests in Thousands of Autonomous Drones</p><p>(04:37) United Kingdom Prepares for Global AI Safety Summit</p><p>(06:15) Case Studies in AI Policy</p><p>(08:55) Links</p> <p>---</p> <p><b>First published:</b><br/> September 5th, 2023 </p> <p><b>Source:</b><br/> <a href="https://newsletter.safe.ai/p/ai-safety-newsletter-21?utm_source=TYPE_III_AUDIO&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_content=Source+URL+in+episode+description&utm_campaign=ai_narration" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://newsletter.safe.ai/p/ai-safety-newsletter-21</a> </p> <p>---</p> <p>Want more?
